The default RAM is PC1600 DDR3 it is labelled PC12800 on the RAM module itself (i.e. high performance RAM). If you got an additional 4 gb PC1333, then just download CPU-Z and see if that Apacer module will run on the same timing as the PC1600, if not, then get one that will.

I got the one with the styles and orange edge, it's the Nvidia GT650M model. Yours is probably the GT640LE. No offense bro, but the benchmark performance difference between those 2 cards are quite big (around 40%).

Thanks, will check on CPU-Z.

Actually mine's with the orange edge with all the pattern on the cover. Its the GT650m model with 500gb and freedos. Frankly i would prefer the plain brushed metal design though biggrin.gif

lol, better pull out the 1300, your system will make system breakdown at worst, slowdown at best.
use the same clock ,1600mhz ram for system speed and stability

cslance,
Once online registered, I believe it will update to 2 yrs limited warranty. A member in cari forum did mention that, e-mail the receipt to Lenovo to update the warranty status.
